WEDNESDAY, NOV. 16, 1887.
THANKSGIVING. Proclamation by His Exeellency Gov PHINEAs c. LoUNsBURY.

There is now no special reason for thanks more than that which has marked the years that are gone; but of all of Heavens gifts to men, life's common blessings are always the sweetest and the best, and so, in accordance. with a custom which is hallowed by all the ties that bind us to the past and which reaches on to the future in universal expec- tation, hereby appoint Thursday, the 24th of November, as day of Thanksgiving and prayer.
 And recommend to the people of this state that they celebrate that day, at home, in festivities that brighten the eye and en- noble the heart, and in church, in prayer and praise to Almighty God.
 In anticipation of this festival, let all of the many in whose houses there is enough and to spare remember those of the poor and un- fortunate with whom they are brought into closest contact, that for one day at least, the chill of poverty may be lifted from every dwelling within our borders, and that all may feel, in charity given or charity received, that around one common table, spread by love, they sit, members of one family, children of One Infinite Father.
 Given under my hand and seal of the state, (~) at the capitol in Hartford, this L.S. eighth day of November, in the t|1 year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and eighty-seven, and of the independence of the United States the one hundred and twelfth.
 PHINEAs c. LoUNsBURY. By His Excellency's Command:
 LEvERErr N. HUBBARD,
 Secretary of the State.

A PARROT SToRY.-A lady residing at Fort Lee owned a bright, talkative parr- ot She has been accustomed to let 1t out in the dooryard where it would en- joy the sun and chatter at the passersby. On Thursday last it was having it's usual good time in the afternoon. The lady stepped into the house leaving the bird alone. A moment afterward she heard the parrot scream: '' Hallo! polly ride, polly ride! This was new senten ,e for the bird to use, so she went out on the porch again to see what caused it.
 She was mortified to see her pet in the claws of hawk that had swooped down upon it and was we'll up in the air be. fore she reached the porch. The bird kept repeating the words "Polly ride, Polly ride, until the hawk, taking a finer hold on its prey, pressed its sharp claws into the flesh, she changed he, words and tone. and screamed, Pull hail pull hair The last word the lady heard as the hawk and parrot disappeared in the distance, were, " Pull hair, pull hair IN.

A Big TODOggan Slide.

An ssofGcial" of the Housatenic road is quoted as saying that the Housatonic railroad was to build the biggest to- began slice in New Eng land, at Parlor Rock. Several thousand dollars had been expended on this resort the past season, and at least $1O,0OO would be put out this season in order to render it first-elass winter resort. The buildings and grounds were illuminated by cleo. tricity, and when the slide was built, the resort would be practically equipped for the winter. Frequent trains would be run over the Housatonic.

BENEFITS OF ouIErNEss.

Young people are apt to fancy that quiet
girls are necessarily stupid ones; they sec
no evidence of brilliancy, and form wrong
estimate of the character of that demurc
maiden whose only ambition in life seems
to be TO sit III silence and listen while others
talk.
For nobody seems to feel ii a duty to draw
her out; nobody belieyes there is anything
TO draw out.
If, however, she is not satisfied with her
fortunes nobody hears anything about it,
and consequently everybody believes, il
they give her a thought, that she is perfect
ly resigned to the commonplace. and that
she could not appreciate anything better.
By and by, when the quiet girl writes a
successful novel, or paints a successful pic
tue, we wonder how she gained her knowl-
ge,
"Shc peyer knew a hundred people in hcr
life" we say.
Yet, all the same, she has known these
few people to some purpose; she has had
leisure to reflect upon all she has seen.
She has not been so occupied in amusing
herself, in advertising her good points, in
making the most of herself, but that she
could observe Others, and use all the mater
ial in her world.
In the meanwhile it is the quiet girl who
marries earliest, who makes the best match
who fills the inches which her more brilliant
sisters leave vacant, who manages the SER
wants, runs the sewing machine, remem-
bers the birthdays, listens to the reminisc-
ences Of the old, and often keeps the wolf
from the door.

He is young enough who has health,

Inconsistency is a woman's preroga-

Conversation is the idle mans business,
and the business mans recreation.
1t cannot be denied that the most san
guine natures are unfortunate; the reason
is that they so frequently rest their hopes
upon the good fortune which they believe
is in store for them rather than upon wise
plans, patient endurance and earnest labor.
Poor physical condition is largely ans
werahle for melancholy disposition, while
high and bounding health prepares the way
for bright hopes and a glad outlook. To
live then in wholesome, sanitary manner,
